Chapter 18

It wasn't long before Sakura managed to reach her favorite haven-the meadow that she went to as a child with Ino. By then, all thoughts of 'don't cry' were gone from her head and she collapsed on the top of the hill in tears.

It fit, really, that she was the last person to get what she was missing. She was the last person to feel the sting of her own potion. The sting being, trying to find out what she was missing so she could get her life back.

But that wasn't what was making her cry.

What was making her cry was that chances were slim of her changing back. She didn't want anyone to lie on her behalf…especially because if they lied, it wouldn't change anything. She'd still be stuck in this body. And what was worse, she had inadvertently dragged Sasuke into this mess. He'd be turned back if it wasn't for her.

Not that she cared or anything.

She sniffed and brushed her eyes clear. "Forget it. I'm going to have to just learn how to live like this," she muttered. She leaned back against the flowers and closed her eyes. "What are you missing?" Surprised, her eyes popped open only to see the black haired chibi leaning over her. She flushed. "I'd…prefer not to tell you."

Sasuke plopped down onto the ground beside Sakura and grabbing her wrist, pulled her into a sitting position. "Look. You and I both know that you're the reason I'm still a child," growled Sasuke, trying to make her feel guilty.

His strategy was to attempt to call on any feelings she might still bear him. It had been awhile since she had acted like a full-fledged fan girl…and it wasn't like he missed it, but Sakura had been distancing herself from him. They were still friends, of course, but she was less obsessed.

It would be a cold day in hell when he admitted it out loud but…okay he missed her having these feelings about him. Or, maybe she did but she just didn't want to say anything.

"Sakura we're not moving from this spot until you tell me what you're missing." "Then get comfortable," huffed the pink haired girl.

She lasted a half an hour of the two of them just sitting there, wind blowing the flowers around the two of them. "Okay fine. But I'm not going to stay after I say. I'm missing…" And there, in the middle of a field of flowers, Sakura finally told someone else that she needed someone to call her pretty before she would change back.

"…. There. I hope you're happy now Sasuke. I've gotta go." Sasuke chuckled from where he was sitting. "Why are you laughing?" asked Sakura, indignantly, as she stood to leave. "Hmph. I thought living with Kayko might've taught you how to associate better with other people."

Sasuke smirked. "Evidently not," huffed Sakura as she whirled away from him. "Sakura…wait."

"What?" Sasuke sighed. "Your forehead isn't ugly. At least, I never thought it was. It made you original." Sakura looked at him, eyes wide with disbelief. "Okay, who are you and what have you done with my old teammate?"

Sasuke snorted indignantly. "I'm trying to be serious." "You're always serious. You should lighten up and joke once in a while." "Look consider this my way of repaying you for persuading me to go to Kayko's house." "I don't believe you. First of all I don't believe that you would think this billboard brow isn't ugly. Second I don't believe you're actually Sasuke. He'd never say something like that."

Sasuke growled. "You're being annoying Sakura. And you're making this extremely hard. I mean what I say. You're forehead…" he sighed. "You suffer from this misconception that whenever people meet you, their eyes are drawn to your forehead and all they can think of is how unattractive it looks like. Well get that idiotic misconception out of your head because it's not true. Now for the love of everything please don't make me say that again."

Despite doubting his words as a rule, Sakura could sense the sincerity behind them. He meant what he said…even if she didn't believe it. That meant….

An odd sensation came over Sakura's body. It started out gentle but as it progressed, it felt as though her entire body was stretching out to reach its former height. And it was over as quickly as it started. Sakura shook her head, and pulled her forehead protector out and tied her hair back. She turned in the direction of Sasuke, and noted with some degree of satisfaction, that he had turned back too-she had been right.

"Finally, it's about time," muttered Sasuke. "Let's go back to my place. Last I checked Ino and Shikamaru were still there."

"You go I've got something I've got to do."

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Kayko was preparing dinner that night, wondering where Kyo was at that very moment. The featherbed had been made up nicely and was waiting-just in case he showed up that night. Secretly, she hoped he did…and she had been talking with Tatsuma and, if the child was truly orphaned, they were considering adopting him.

She was in the process of cutting up a piece of celery for that night's supper when the doorbell rang. She suppressed a smile, knowing who it was. Therefore, she was surprised when she opened the door and it…wasn't Kyo.

Instead, it was a guy who looked to be in his late teens or early 20's, a forehead protector on his forehead, indicating he was a ninja, and Kyo's coloring. "May I help you?" she asked, more than a little curious. "Yes, Miss Kayko, there's something I need to discuss with you. May I come in?" Kayko nodded and opened the door to admit the young man.

"How can I help you?" asked Kayko after she had shown him into the living room. "I wanted to thank you. For what you did. And to explain something." "Oh!" said Kayko with a smile. "You must be a relative of Kyo. It was no problem…" "Yes, well that's what I wanted to explain."

"Several days ago, I was at a party with my friends and my friend who…is little more than a dope, mixed up the drink with a potion another friend had made. Everyone who drank it was reverted into a child like stage until they could find out what they were missing."

Kayko had an confused expression on so he elaborated. "We had to find what we were missing as a child-be it as drastic as someone to love or as frivolous as say, not having a last name. After we did that and achieved that we would turn back." Kayko nodded in understanding. "But what does this have to do with me?"

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. Surely you've heard of the Uchiha massacre?" Kayko nodded. "I lost my mother and my father in that attack as well as all my relatives. When I drank the potion and reverted back into the child I had been it didn't take me long to figure out that I was missing a family."

Kayko seemed to finally be putting two and two together but Sasuke said it anyway, just to make sure. "The name I gave you was Kyo but everything else was real. And I came to thank you for helping me turn back into an adult."

Kayko looked stunned. "I can't believe something like this could happen…but… I'm glad I could help you Sasuke-San."

Sasuke managed a small smile. "Actually…please drop the 'san' and…just Sasuke is fine."

"Very well, 'just Sasuke'…. do you want to bake some more cookies?"

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Later on that night Sasuke and Sakura sat at Sakura's kitchen table, munching on the soft chocolate chip cookies. "So, she didn't mind that you were actually a 18 year old in a 6 year old body?"

"No, she didn't. I was surprised actually." "Oh, while you were out I got a call from Tenten. There's a ceremony set up for tomorrow so that the Hyuuga's can officially recognize the marriage of Neji and Tenten. We're both invited."

"Hn."
